How It All Goes Down
The Thickness of Blood and Drama, 1934
- Safran's second love is also a widow: Lista, whose husband died the morning of her wedding, meaning that she's a virgin widow.
- She brings him to her house for some "hot coffee" if you catch our drift.
- Then we meet the third love: a Gypsy girl. They meet at a play re-enacting Trachim's wagon crash, the same one we read about way back in Chapter 2.
- Safran and the Gypsy girl, who are sitting next to each other, leave right around the time Brod is born (Brod being Safran's great-times-something grandmother, if you recall) to have sex in the trees outsides the Shtetl.
